This patch has been committed.

Here is a second preparation patch: Change collate and ctype fields to
type text.

I think this is useful by itself because it allows longer locale names.
ICU locale names with several options appended can be longer than 63
bytes. This case is probably broken right now. Also, it saves space in
the typical case, since most locale names are not anywhere near 63 bytes.
